I think this was one of the best concerts of 1970.
Jimi appears to be in a very good mood which is reflected in his playing. Finally, an audience that doesnt scream for 'Wild Thing/Foxy Lady/Purple Haze/burn that guitar Jimi!'
inbetween all songs. This version of Hey Baby is -afaik- the only live version that has a intro and an ending, its not the usual ending where it would be a medley with the next song - or drum solo.

So, the show is really good, the audio really isnt.
Still hope it will be enjoyed!

Re: 1970-08-01 Honolulu

Thanks so much! This show has been elusive for me...I guess there is that old rumor that someone recorded the whole thing on a c-120 tape and that was not enough for the whole show...kinda hard to believe. Maybe one day that tape will show up, in the meantime thx for this!!!!

Re: 1970-08-01 Honolulu

i dont know if anybody noticed, but on this Hey Baby Jimi actually sings 'Hey Gypsy Baby, where do you come in from' - just like on the Rainbow Bridge album, not the often (mis-)interpreted 'Hey Baby, where do you coming from' - which would just be wrong

it also seems that this is the beginning of the concert, they start with 3 new songs in a row and nobody complains! jimi's playing on those reminds me closely of the 'finished' studio tracks of those songs, moreso than other live shows of that period.

here's a small torrent for the artwork that Pete H. made, sorry i didnt include it strate away.
